What is the largest best practice volume size for a NetApp v 8.2.3x 7-Mode volume with an NFS Export? I know that the OS will support a 72 TB volume but I seem to remember that there was a limit past which one sees performance issues.
We have FAS 3250 filers, and are running VMware 5.1 ESXI soon to be 5.5.x.
The volumes server as SANs for the VMs.
I seem to remember that my former boss was working on getting the larger ones down to like 12-16 TB.
I just cannot remember what the magic number was and why it was a good idea.
